We have a new President in the USA -and it’s key to know, Trump does not control or reign over your evaluative judgments, noticing and awareness about you and how to live a truly authentic great life. I happen to like Trump- but this is just my internal view and opinion, you have yours, and I can look past his defects- we are all fabulous sinners. What matters is viewing thru the windshield of life, not the rear view mirror with conviction and faith!

Thru prayer and petition to someone much greater than yourself, it TAKES YOUR TOUGHNESS, COMMITMENT, PAIN, SACRIFICE, GRIT, LATE HOURS AND EARLY MORNINGS, ACTION (NOT TALK), HUMBLE, HUNGRY, SMART, ORGANIZATION AND ACTUAL REAL PLANNING IN WRITING AND INTENSE FOCUS —- EVERY SINGLE DAY OF YOUR LIFE to live a noble life and spread goodness and art and love.

IT DOES NOT DROP IN YOUR LAP, OR DUE TO A PRESIDENT OR PARENT, OR PERSON— THIS IS ABOUT YOU AND YOUR CHOICES AND JUDGEMENTS – SO DON’T BLAME COMPLAIN AND DEFEND ANYTHING TO ME- BECAUSE IT ALL COMES BACK TO ABOVE.

GOD IS WITH US- GOD IS FOR US. Connections matter- real ones that transcend politics, religion, and superficial gods. Trust in your Higher Power, and your internal responses starting with evaluative judgement, noticing and awareness- and get to work on your labor of Love!

We have all heard the term, “keep it real” or “he/she is a real person”.

so what does “real” mean? actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed. (of a substance or thing) not imitation or artificial; genuine.

How are we as human beings, companies, families, enterprises… considered real? The answer starts with being AUTHENTIC!

In today’s world of high tech, fame, connections, the mad dash for success, power, chasing the dollar, or being somebody we are not to achieve some or all of the above — it becomes more important to be REAL, AUTHENTIC, GENUINE. Why…because it now matters and people can smell it. It sets you apart. We all possess the same ability to have fancy gadgets, social media connections, attend all the parties, be like the other person,…. and at the end of the day…..are you being the person God has gifted your Life and Purpose deep down inside? Here are some things our firm HALBERDIER Real Estate inspire in our quest for deeper authentic connections:

Define and Live out your God given Purpose with Faith

Do what you Love to Do – attendance based compensation days are over

Don’t pay attention to Critics and Haters – they are everywhere. Instead connect only with Winners!

Get grounded and tap into your Humility- have you been completely honest about your character defects?

What are you top 5 strengths creating Impact and NOW let them shine!

Connectedness is a Value and Gift to people- so use it.

People know how much you Care, they don’t care how much you know.

Give gifts of your time, talents and treasure without expecting Anything in return

always do the next right thing even when it hurts and no one is looking

Patiently listen to needs of others and sincerely offer service, generosity and help

Friends, now more than ever we need you. Connect with your Higher Power and the people who are your biggest cheerleaders, and love others for who they are….. and watch your REAL Purpose and Gifts grow and grow!

YOU are in the biggest fight of your LIFE. The most important challenge for YOU is to learn how to conquer YOURSELF. We all have a story- what is YOURs?

FEAR- can YOU dance next to FEAR? – sure you can. FEAR are False Experiences/or Evidence Appearing Real (FEAR). When you have the belief, faith and conviction in God’s will- well then just rest easy…or at least do your best right? When has He purposely done you wrong?

DOUBT- can YOU get to the next level when you second guess yourself? YOU have purpose in this LIFE, so go for it. God loves you and so do ALL the people who believe in YOU. YOU are here to be an example to others and lunge forward and GO FOR IT!

SHAME- who really cares what YOU did in the past – they may not forget but should forgive, …and did you learn and change is the key. Guilty feelings are one thing, and can be used constructively, but don’t wallow in shame– it is a cancer that spreads and infects others. YOU are forgiven, and a new human being. LOVE others and get the focus off YOURSELF and go help somebody. Be vulnerable – the opposite of SHAME.

Thank you to David Dorn and THE LOFT, for inspiring us to Fight the Good Fight– the one FIGHT that does matter. GROW, LOVE, COMPASSION, FAITH, COURAGE, SACRIFICE – - NOW GO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!!

Lights Camera Action! it’s July 2014 and I trust you are feeling the HEAT and the Commercial Real Estate energy around North Houston and The Woodlands TX.

So let’s just cut to the chase- do YOU like all the action, construction, congestion and more people?… or wish this all could return to the post Y2K small villages in the trees era?

I will now mention Vision- because Vision is responsible for what “it” is today. “It” is the 10 mile radius around The Woodlands proper. “It” makes me seldom leave the “bubble” because we now have everything around here- including a new Nordstroms (ladies beware). ”It” is a safe haven for kids, schools, upbringing and sports- I have 4 little monsters so this is important. “It” was created by visionaries we all know- starting with George Mitchell. Thank you to Howard Hughes, Exxon and the other fine people, schools, churches and companies making The Woodlands home.

So do YOU embrace change or fight it- I guess you could complain a lot – or embrace it- or maybe move away to more country living elsewhere. Everyone has an opinion and they are all good. But lets face it, “IT” is here – the 9,000,000,000 billion pound guerilla has landed, we are officially in the bubble metropolis of competitive gen x’ers and old school’ers, high commerce, fast lifestyle, beeping cars and construction vehicles, overpasses and concrete- lots of concrete.

Vision- what will this place look like in 25 years- and will you embrace it? will you call The Woodlands home?

In all the great ExxonMobil campus, The Woodlands Howard Hughes, Springwoods Village, the new Grand Parkway news here, there is a tale of polarity – good with the bad, success with the growing pains, so take the hot with the cold. Let’s take a look at a few briefly.

Good for Business – Bad for Traffic- need I say more…I think the term “reverse commute” is now obsolete in these parts,

Good for The Woodlands (and all North Houston) Real Estate Equity and Values – Bad for property taxes on such Properties and Bad (maybe) for vacated Exxon buildings in Greenspoint, Fairfax Virginia, Downtown Houston and other locations.

Good for Houston, The Woodlands, Montgomery County, North Harris County, Spring and Conroe Texas etc- Bad for Fairfax and Exxon Mobil employees content “as is”

Good for Grand Parkway and +/-1600 acres Springwoods Village Development adjacent to – Bad for residents (and other business) who want a little peace and quiet in their backyard.

HALBERDIER Real Estate is developing a few commercial real estate projects around the ExxonMobil impact area- visit THE H REAL ESTATE a HALBERDIER Holdings Company for more details – www.theHrealestate.com

Please visit the high energy conference coming soon… www.eocthewoodlands.com – link to Economic Outlook Conference in The Woodlands, South Montgomery County TX.

I look forward to one of the best business events of the year! This is the Superbowl of Conferences up in our neck of The Woods (lands). May we soon call it The Woodlands and The Exxonlands just south of us! As we say in The Woodlands, we are in the bubble (The Woodlands TX) of the bubble (Houston) of the bigger bubble (Texas) – and this city is red hot!

The lineup looks fantastic in just a few short weeks, so come on over and say Hello! HALBERDIER Real Estate is a breakfast sponsor so come early and let’s connect!

U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady, Alex Sutton (The Woodlands Development Company / Howard Hughes), Bruce Tough (running for State Rep 15), Gil Staley (South Montgomery County EDP) ,and other executives with ExxonMobil, Wells Capital, Talisman, Repsol, Layne Christensen, and Chevron Phillips – there will be plently of ”Energy” in the room.

Thanks again for your support with www.theHrealestate.com The H Real Estate a HALBERDIER Holdings company – and I look forward to more Houston and The Woodlands commercial real estate investments, development and advisory interactions with you soon!

Trey Halberdier, founder of The H Real Estate, a Halberdier Holdings Company, was an early adopter of the ExxonMobil mega corporate campus intelligence in 2009 and hedged several future sites for acquisition and hyper appreciation for his companies and investors. Now, a handful of years later, Halberdier and his close allies are executing the game plan as initially planned.

One such prime land tract near Exxon, HALBERDIER Real Estate assembled ownership on, is 40 acres on the southwest corner of Hardy Toll Rd and Riley Fuzzel. This site is approximately 1,000 feet south from the new Grand Parkway intersect and Hardy Toll Rd – and less than a mile from ExxonMobil’s operations. Halberdier and his team plan to commence horizontal ground infrastructure immediately and feel the highest and best use is an industrial office park, a multifamily play and an additional few pad sites off Riley Fuzzel.

Also, The H Real Estate is in active negotiations on another larger multi-million dollar commercial development just around the bend. This future announcement will be another bonus game changer to the area around the ExxonMobil campus, Springwoods Village, and The Woodlands TX areas.

Halberdier’s new investment & development firm’s footprint in Montgomery and North Harris Counties, promises to be impactful and enduring. ‘We believe our core values are consistent with our community – and look forward to decades of impact and service to The Woodlands and surrounding areas’, Trey Halberdier says. ‘This is just the start and we encourage all our sphere of influence to embrace and give back to this awesome community’

HALBERDIER Real Estate plans to scale up the enterprise organically and keep the brand and team streamlined as it grows. Trey Halberdier notes in his exciting 15 years in commercial real estate, 2014 will be the best.

‘We want to develop first class commercial real estate assets, provide for our community and leave a legacy’ says Halberdier. ‘This will be a great ride’

Please learn more about Bruce Tough below and see some of the issues he is tackling. Bruce Tough is a remarkable leader, visionary, mentor, client and friend. Please vote for Bruce!

Public Safety – Law enforcement, fire protection and emergency ambulance services are always top priorities for residents and business in our District.

Transportation and Mobility – This vital issue is one of the primary reasons why I entered this race. As our region continues to grow and prosper, and more and more visitors from literally around the world enjoy our community; transportation, mobility, and parking issues will become increasingly critical.

Water – As Texas residents are increasingly aware, water is one of the top issues that face our state. Periodic drought conditions, depletion of both surface and underground water sources, our outlook for continuing population growth with the resulting increase in water demands, and the lack of effective conservation programs all serve to define this issue.

Education – The high-quality education systems that we have in District 15 are vital to the continuing success of our area.

Economic Development – Even during difficult economic periods, our region has continued to prosper. We have added jobs, new businesses continue to move here, homes continue to sell, new homes are being built and sold, new retail outlets continue to open, world-class dining establishments are being added, and much more.

Fiscal Responsibility – I have always been committed to controlled spending, limited government, complete transparency, and that taxes should be kept as low as possible while still providing the high level of services our residents and businesses expect.

Quality of Life – Our region is based on the principle of making this a great place to live, work, and play.

Illegal Immigration – Sadly, the federal government has continually failed at its responsibility to secure our borders. Our immigration system is fundamentally flawed, in part because the laws against illegal immigration often go unenforced.

Right to Life – I am a pro-life conservative and as an officer of the court will defend our state laws protecting the lives of the unborn.

Governance – Because of The Woodlands Township (about half of District 15 population) agreement with the cities of Houston and Conroe (which I was honored to help craft and finalize) that prevents annexation for another forty plus years,

Gun Control - I am a strong believer in the right to bear arms as protected by the 2nd amendment.

When I say “Make A Friend”- what does that mean to you? We have had an awesome series at THE LOFT CHURCH at The Woodlands United Methodist Church the past few weeks. Mission- to make real Friends. see links @ The LOFT Church link - http://www.loftchurch.com/message/loft/20130519

To me, a Friend, a true Friend, is one I can call on at the darkest hour, when the chips are down, and I need someone to just listen to me- and offer support. I understand after today’s sermon, FRIEND’s might just complete the 3rd leg of the triangle in an authentic community connected Purpose driven life under God – 1.) His Word/Scripture 2.) Prayer 3.) real FRIENDS. That is powerful to me and encourages reflection into just “who are my real Friends?” and “what Friends am I seeking in my Life – and WHY?”

We all have strong beliefs in someone and something, so how do we make this relationship more intimate?

Are just a few close friends good enough? If so, why is that? So, then what is the purpose of artificial friends?

Is our belief in a Higher Power (for us Christians- CHRIST) the most important Friend and are we letting Him in?

Can you Thrive in Life by making a few more real Friends and rely on those close ones to you?

“MAKE A FRIEND” …hmmm. I love Christ, I love People- and I love real authentic sacrificial Friends-…. so maybe one of life’s major “impactful” treasures is to focus on my enduring loving friends who share the same conviction and core values? With maturity comes a sweet realization- who are our real Friends and why do we need them?
